Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: one adj., drop n.

Etymology: < one adj. + drop n.Used with reference to segregationist ideological tenets based on the ‘one drop of —— blood’ formula. The tenets themselves are attested much earlier, as is (occasional) use of one drop as noun phrase in related use; compare the following:1837 Q. Anti-slavery Mag. Jan. 186 It seems to be an aggravation that the rascally 'one drop', should be able to course the arteries unbetrayed but by the pedigree.1837 Colored Amer. 28 Oct. 3/1 Nor will they permit the admission of a student into their Theological Seminaries, who, knowingly, has one drop of African blood in his veins.

U.S. Now chiefly historical.

1976 J. G. Mencke Mulattoes & Race Mixture (Dissertation, Univ. North Carolina) ii. 68 These ideas involved the nearly universal acceptance of what might be termed the ‘one drop rule’, the belief that regardless of how distant a mulatto's black ancestry might be..he nevertheless remained a Negro.

1995 M. Lind Next Amer. Nation iii. 121 Should old-time southern state constitutions be ransacked for official definitions of negritude and whiteness? Should we adopt the ‘one drop’ theory, or the ‘one-quarter’ theory?

2000 N.Y. Times Bk. Rev. 22 Oct. 15/3 The one-drop rule succeeded all too well, so much so that its most devoted adherents today are African-Americans.
